What Does a Whole-Home Automation System Control?

In short, everything. Well, not the weather, but almost. From TV settings to lighting, window shades to music and garage doors, adjust your lifestyle with  ease. Get technology that memorizes your rituals, whether that’s opening the shades at a certain hour or kicking off the day with an amazing playlist in your home gym. A whole-home automation system makes this achievable from one universal touchpoint thanks to Control4, Crestron, or URC.

Set Lifestyle Scenes With Control4

We know and love Control4 as the standard for in-home comfort. In the Control4 system, a “scene” describes automated events of your choosing. These are activated at certain times of the day. For example, a “bedtime” scene dims the bathroom lights and locks all doors. An “away” scene closes all the blinds between noon and three to keep the house cool. Use this technology to create scenes that mimic your normal home activity while you’re on vacation or simply to remember your everyday preferences. Start living life by your own design.

Home Surveillance at Your Leisure

At the heart of intelligent living spaces is home surveillance from Luma and Ring. Know the exact moment an Amazon package hits the front porch or unlock the house for an earlier-than-expected guest with custom home surveillance systems. Keep an eye on your property or just enjoy watching the wildlife pass through the backyard. Surveillance provides homeowners that extra layer of security they need to feel at ease.

Climate Control

Comfort begins the moment the fireplace switches on and your heated floors activate. Set your home to remember these little luxuries you love with Control4’s climate control features. Scenes remember the temperature you like to sleep at, which exterior lights stay on after sunset, and to keep the bathroom light on dim so your kids can find their way without waking you up in the night.

Controlling Lighting and Shades

Smart home technology, including lighting control and motorized shades, enhances convenience, energy efficiency, and security. With smart lights, you can easily adjust the ambiance for any activity, like watching TV or dining, and even control lighting remotely with settings like 'Goodnight' to turn off all lights or 'Pathway' for nighttime navigation. These systems also enhance security by activating lights during unexpected activity, deterring intruders. Motorized shades offer effortless control over sunlight, improving privacy, reducing solar heat gain, and conserving energy. They also provide UV protection, preserving valuable furniture and artwork, while offering a variety of design options to suit any home. Whether building or upgrading, these innovations combine functionality, sustainability, and style.
